This is the blue mohair I thought would look lovely on a platypuss. watcha fink? The blue backing is also a bit darker that for real. It's early morning here.
And this is a needle I tried using on a kangaroo that I had stuffed with GINNED COTTON.

I am looking forward to seeing him done!
Melbourne, AustraliaThat's a great mohair to work with Wendy. I used it on Bluebeary and as you can see the colour makes up well.
I think a blue roo would be good too!
I've started a graveyard collection of those sorts of needles... they are very unique! I must admit, they do come in handy from time to time.
Big hugs,
Sandi
'Bear' Bottoms OriginalsOooo, Oooo, lovin' it.... LOVIN' IT! OK, Wendy, I think you have a Platy blue winner there! I'll take one!

Sophie Z'OursGo for a blue platy, Wendy!
Yeppee platy blue, platy blue, platy blue!
Whoohoo, she'll make a platy blue, platy blue, platy blue!

Yeah!
:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
Go Wendy, go!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Rufnut Teddy'sLove the colour Wendy, go for it. :clap:
Claudia's KnuffelbaerenWhat a wonderful colour! I'm sure it will look beautiful! 
Similar needles I also already had ... 
Renae said: Maybe we should all send our weirded out needles in, we can solder them together as modern art. Put some sort of tricky banner on it like Bears, Not Drugs! Oh! and Judy had some claws that burned, those would add some textual interest...
Ooops, sorry, I used to write add copy, sometimes it shows I'm still trying to live down my commercial art training.
Ha-ha!! 
Renae, you are really on a roll there! I would love to see a bear-making-themed sculpture. Maybe you're just the lady to put it together! I work in advertising as a proofreader with a graphic design background, and I can tell you're an ad writer/artist. How fun! 
Wendy, the blue is lovely. I think a platypus made with it would be such fun! I made one bear with a similar color of blue, and I really liked how it turned out. I used the blue for the bear's jammies. Here's James (pictures taken at a show):
Be sure to post a picture of your lovely blue platy when you're done!
Debora
Sandi, Blueberry's a cute one! And I love the idea of a blue Roo... you 'uns from Down Unda will need to make up some blue Roos!
Debora

BrisbaneA blue platy would be great....can't wait to see pictures :photo:
Patsy Lake BearsWendy that fabric would make a wonderful platy blue ..... I have a few needles like that...... but you need to use a large mattress needle with the ginned cotton. I have trouble getting the needle through but find it better to twist and push then rest ... it is very slow work ......
Matilda Huggington-beareMatilda, dear possum, you musn't let the cotton get into the liquor cabinet right before you use it. Especially if it's HARD liquor. :dance:
:crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: I'm just about wetting myself Kitty.
As for the sculpture thingy, brilliant idea!!!!!!!!! How about broken felting needles? can you use those as well.
Sandi , Blueberry is gorgeous!!!!! and Debora your teddy has the prettiest blue jammies.
MMMmmm yes this blue is going to be fun to work with. A Blue Roo? Maybe a Roo injammies Debora? hahahah
Thankyou all for your input.
Wendy 
Renae, I am rolling over here! And you must use the mohair scraps everyone is sure to have. I once read somewhere that some artists put rejected bear heads inside bigger bears as part of their stuffing. 
Wouldn't that be a shocker to see something like that??
Wendy, a blue roo...a roo in jammies...fantastic!! Can't wait to see them! 
I often admire your avatar drawing, and your kangaroo Wanda would look great in blue...jammies...
